LOCKDOWN – COVID

I’m Living Inna Lockdown

Stay At Home

And Shut Down

Economy Gone Down

I Had A Melt Down

I Feel Low Right Now

Where’s My Life

I’m Suffering From Stress And Strife

Help Me, Help Me Creator

To Get Through This Now And Later

To Stay Alive Stay Alive

Do This Do That Take Vitamin To Thrive

Because Of Corona 

Death Is Round The Corner

I Stay At Home My Immune System

Getting Weaker And Weaker 

To The Brim

Told To Wear Gloves Wear A Mask, 

Go Out Now And Again 

Do As We Are Told

– No Question Asked

Closed The Windows, Closed The Doors

Life is a bore!

No Fresh Air For Hours And Hours

I heard 5G Is Coming, Stronger And Stronger

Wifi Attacking Senses, We Won’t Be Here Any Longer

Drink Lemon Ginger And Honey

Your Life Will Go Further

Even if It’s not sunny

Panic Buying

For Toilet Rolls 

Pack The Cupboards

No More Space Them Caw Hold

Long Line In A Supermarket

I Think I Rather Shop On Line

And Rest Mi Behind!

I’m Have To Do Social Distancing

Can’t Even Hug My Grandchildren

It’s  Annoying

Isolation Is Not The Answer

Playing Tricks On Me too much Banter

Why does  it feel like Controlling?

My Eyes In My Head Are Rolling

Friends And Loved Ones Are Dying

How Many More How Many More

Is It A Target To Score?

Is This Pandemic Design To Separate Us?

No Crowd Gathering, 

No Church Praying

We Will Get Together That’s A Must

I Have The Right

Almighty Is By Our Side

Our Connection 

 Is Our Protection

So We Rise, Rise, Rise

AND WE WILL SURVIVE, SURVIVE SURVIVE
